The U.S. has microwave weapons that proponents believe could stop North Korea from launching missiles by frying their electronics.

Dunno, but we need to set up a missle defense system in our territories and with our partners like Japan and South Koriea, shoot everything down they send up, and tell them to go suck it.

If democrats didn't block Reagan's plan, and calling it "star wars" to get the public on their side we would not be talking about North Korea. His plan would have made ICBM's obsolete.
